1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundIncidences of obesity, obesity surgeries, and gastric submucosal tumors (GST) have increased worldwide. This case report aims to demonstrate that concomitant laparoscopic transgastric resection (LTGR) of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) can be performed safely and effectively in a patient with morbid obesity and scheduled sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

methodsThe patient was planned to undergo SG surgery after the diagnosis of morbid obesity (BMI, 40.4 kg/m

resultsThe ports were placed for laparoscopic SG. Greater curvature and gastric fundus were fully mobilized. Along the greater curvature gastrotomy was performed, and thus the tumor was localized. The tumor was resected with a linear stapler by considering surgical margins. The frozen section examination showed no malignancy. The gastrotomy was closed, and the SG was performed via the orogastric tube (39F). In the postoperative passage X-ray, there was no stenosis or leaking, and the patient was externed on the third postoperative day. In the immunohistochemical examination, it was reported that the tumor was a GIST, and the surgical margins were negative.

conclusionThe LTGR may help to protect the stomach or minimize the degree of partial resection in the treatment of especially GSTs near the EGJ.
